This is a tier list for all available characters in Solo Leveling Arise on September 2025 excluding Sung Jinwoo.

Sung Jinah is a Wind-Element SSR Mage - and the younger sister of Sung Jinwoo - charging into Solo Leveling: ARISE with a spear in hand and the confidence to match.
Her fighting style is all about speed and flow, with absurdly fast MP recovery, well-rounded stats, and hard-hitting skills that keep the pressure on. Jinah shines in Wind teams that value fast rotations, clean combos, and a little family power on the frontline.
| Absolutely broken and should be your top priority to use. DPS: Godly damage especially when you invest on them. Support: Best supports in the game due to their insane buff and must-haves when buffing your team. |

| Generally acceptable and can fill your team if you do not have the top units. DPS: Characters who require max investment, but may still not be enough to compete against the best DPS in the game due to how strong the A and S Tiers are. Support: Some characters listed here do not have much support abilities but they can support by Breaking the enemy and letting the main DPS attack them in a broken state. |
|
| Mediocre or best suited to the opposite role. If the character is mainly a DPS character then they will be rated bad on support and vice versa. DPS: Characters put here are better off doing damage than supporting. Support: Characters put here are better at support roles than doing lots of damage. |
|
| Generally bad. Characters that you should not invest at all due to better options DPS: Just bad at doing damage even if it's their main role. Support: Bad at supporting as there are better supports to add to the team. |
